Bowls Midlothian

01/09/2026

And that's a Wrap..Day 3 of the BM Championships were concluded this evening at Musselburgh Municipal bowling club & Eskmills Bowling Club. At 6pm it wasn't looking promising with torrential rain on the horizon but thankfully it held off.

ESKMILLS Under 25's

Starting with the games at Eskmills featuring our Under 25 stars it's a massive congratulations to Lucy Hogg who becomes the first lady winner of the Mcintosh Trophy. In a high quality match where the score didn't really do justice to Emma Docherty Lucy continued her rich vein of form to add to her Bronze & Gold medals in the Nationals. An international cap next?

Glancing through the previous winners of the Mcintosh it's like a who's who of Bowls in Midlothian with stalwarts such as Ronnie Duncan David Peacock Colin Mcfarlane Ramsay Blair being previous winners.

The first ever playing of the Under 25 Pairs was a well contested affair with the Gorebridge Bowling Club duo of Ross Bruce & Cameron Stokes coming out on top with a late scoring surge to be inaugural winners of this new competition.

Musselburgh Municipal 4 Finals..

Congratulations go to..

055 Ladies Rinks Eskmills
Glover Triples Gents Wallyford Miners Club
Carmichael Trophy Gilmerton bowling club
Go Green Masters...Neil Christison Dalkeith Bowling Club defeated David Mcintee Newbattle Bowling Club 21-17.

Many thanks to both greens for accommodating the Finals this week and to our Umpiring team who were kept busy this evening with many close measures.

Jacek Dalkeith Bowling Club steals the show with a hat trick of victories with 7 hours of bowling on Sunday. You are all winners in our eyes though and the support from Clubs, sponsors and great competition blew us all away.

A 15-year-old Dalkeith bowler was the star of the show after winning three titles at Bowls Midlothian’s biggest-ever Finals Day.

Law 33.1 states that where a game is stopped because of darkness, weather conditions or another valid reason, “the game must be continued either on the same day or on a different day. The scores will be as they were when the game was stopped.”

Therefore, all of our Finals which were abandoned due to the weather will resume from the score at the point the game was stopped, in accordance with the World Bowls Laws.

We appreciate everyone’s patience and cooperation in rescheduling the remaining fixtures.

We wish all of our finalists the very best of luck as we get the remaining Championship Finals completed. 🤞

What a fantastic day of bowls, with some brilliant games and some seriously impressive bowling on show! 👏

A massive well done to every player selected to represent Midlothian. You did yourselves, your clubs and all of us incredibly proud. 🙌

It wasn’t meant to be this year, but you gave it everything, winning many of your games and should be proud of what you achieved.

There’s always next year… and we’ll be back! 💪🔥
